Xzener 729 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Aphid, Luke, For some time now, movie covers in all views (except home screen) are an incorrect aspect ratio. Can you please fix this? Here are a couple example pictures... Home screen, where covers look good. And here, notice all covers are much wider than normal. This is effecting all categories (All Movies, Unwatched, etc) and view types... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xzener 729 Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Anyone else see this problem?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xzener 729 Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Due to the overwhelming feedback (sarcasm), I have a feeling this might be CoverArt related. I will test and report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37053 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 it's not really a CA problem. the homescreen of MBT uses fixed 2:3 aspect ratios. MBT prefers uniform looking posters of all the same size, so for any given poster, if it's "close enough" to 2:3, then it just stretches it. for the other list screens, it's not fixed at 2:3, but is instead calculated using the median aspect ratio of the entire list. from there the same algorithm applies. each one is examined individually, and if the AR is close enough, it just stretches it. An option could be added to disable this "close enough" check, but then you get a list of lots of images that are sized slightly differently. i think most people would not want that because it looks very sloppy. Having said all of this, despite your reported issue, do any of the above images actually look bad? because those screens look good to me even if the AR isn't exactly the original.

Xzener 729 Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 The home screen looks great. I would expect the same size images throughout the app. It looks sloppy to me. I understand the "close enough" approach with coding, but it looks as though its taking the worst sized image and going by that. I suppose I could resize all my folder.jpgs, I just don't understand why the sizing isn't the same as Emby Classic, which looks great throughout the entire client.

yardameus 220 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Yeah, they do look rather "squat" in the second image. I'm surprised this doesn't happen to everyone. Couldn't it just all be a fixed ratio everywhere? Or does this screw with other peoples images? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37053 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 it has to account for a lot of different scenarios. thing is, in that above screen, most people will never notice problem because it doesn't actually look bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xnappo 1593 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Aspect ratios are like kerning, if you know what it is you can't stand looking at it when it done wrong That looks horrible to me Speaking of which, the new logo and the 'emby' alignment is off somehow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scanner50 8 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Yeah, I have to agree with the others here, that 2nd shot drives me nuts every time I look at it. I think a lot of us Emby users are purists, that's what attracted us to it in the first place. So I think we might expect a certain level of purity within the GUI as well.

millerdt 1 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Prefer that all the cover's look the same from screen to screen, that flat squat looks bad IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yardameus 220 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I've never noticed this issue with my library, but I agree they are quite distorted. I don't use the cover treatment you have, so I wonder if it's because of that that it is so distorted. From Luke's explanation, I would think it wouldn't matter, but it's odd that it's so pronounced.

Xzener 729 Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 I HATE IT!! Probably the only thing I can't stand about Emby... Just checked the Roku client, its plaguing Roku as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MndWrp 99 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 has this issue been addressed ? i still see an image ratio offset on some images and i don't use coverart i have my own workaround at least for now... the image needs to be resaved as a jpg (using photoshop or gimp) without beeig in 'progressive' mode. once resaved thay all behave as they should ... i hope that helps the devs somehow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xzener 729 Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) No. It has not been addressed... I can't believe more people aren't complaining about it.

xnappo 1593 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Well if it is right without CA, then it is a CA problem CA changes the AR, which can cause problems. If the app changes the AR ITSELF, then that is a bug in the app. Need to turn off CA to determine which it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 It has to do with the fact that the images, when ingested, have no dimensions. I think this has been well established in prior investigations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MndWrp 99 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Yes, when it happens the images indeed have no dimensions displayed in the metadata manager. I did do a bunch of jpg saving variations and as i said it happens to the images saved with 'progressive' ticked. I have coverart installed but never got to actually using it much... so i guess it's technically possible that the bug comes from that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xzener 729 Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 As you can see in the first post, the AR is fine in certain views. The correct AR is not consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xnappo 1593 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) Yes, those views are not constraining the image to a certain space, because there is plenty of room for any size images. When the actual size is specified to scale the image to fit in a specific space, it breaks with CA because CA changes the AR. We see this all the time in Kodi skins - IMHO CA needs to offer more treatments at the 'correct' AR. Edited October 11, 2015 by xnappo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 CA won't matter much if the image itself doesn't have any dimensions. There is an API call to request the aspect ratio of a given image as well to try and work around the issue you are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
